Hello again fellow artists and welcome back to another tutorial lesson. Today I was in the mood to draw a lot of anime characters from the popular anime series Naruto. There is one particular character that reminds me of Snake from Metal Gear and his name is Kakashi Hatake. Now, because I am a fan of Metal Gear Solid and Naruto I figured today’s tutorial should be on how to draw Kakashi Hatake. As you all may know this character is a very interesting one. I know you’re wondering who he is and the answer is simple, he is the one with the black ninja mask that goes across his face and rest slightly under his eyes. He also wears a thick headband on his head which drops just enough to cover his left eye that was scared from an intense battle with the rock ninjas. But since your reading this description you already know what he looks like, don’t you. Let me explain exactly how this brave warrior got his scar. You see, while Kakashi was fighting with the rock ninjas, he jumped in front of Obito to save him from the enemy's kunai, and because of that bold move he ended up losing his left eye which later healed into a scar. After that incident they were fleeing after the fight, but unfortunately a technique called rockfall was engaged. Obito decided to make a very bold and brave move so that Kakashi wouldn’t get injured; he pushed him out of the way. Obito gave Kakashi a gift, his Sharingan eye. Rin helped place the new eye into Kakashi’s injured eye socket. Obito died minutes after the transplant. Kakashi is also the leader of Team 7 and was formally a member of the ANBU which is short for ANsatsu Senjutsu Tokushu BUtai. I think that translates into Special Assassination and Tactical Squad in Japanese but I could be wrong. My brother actually told me what the meaning of that was, and he should know since he does a lot of internet surfing. He is the type of kid that loves feeding his mind even if it is about games or anime cartoons. Anyways let’s get back to talking about Kakashi. If any of you follow along with this particular anime series you will know that his father was the legendary White Fang of Konoha. The history of this popular Japanese anime/manga character can go on for hours. I’m sure most of you already know about what he is and what kind of background he holds. I had a lot of fun with this tutorial because I got a chance to practice drawing hands which I almost perfected while drawing him out. It is now your turn to learn how to draw Kakashi Hatake from Naruto step by step. The detailed instructions will help make this learning experience a whole lot easier. Peace out people.

How to Draw Kakashi Hatake From Naruto

STEP 1.

Okay, this first step is very simple and easy to do. All you will need to start drawing is the shapes and guidelines to make a frame for Kakashi. Start with a small circle for the head with the facial guidelines drawn in. Next make the outline for his wild looking hair and then a box shape for his torso. From the torso you will draw out the guidelines for the arms, hands, legs, and feet. On the right hand draw a half circle to form a fan like shape.

STEP 2.

What you will start to do in this step is first start detailing his hair. His hair is in the shape of a thick flame so use jagged strokes to shape out his hair through this tutorial. Now you will draw the lining for his headband which covers his left eye. But to us it is the right because we are looking straight on at him. After that is done you can begin the lining process of his jacket starting with the collar and shoulders. Now draw out the shape of his left arm and then start sketching in his fingers on the right. You will also need to shape out his torso as shown. After that is done you will now draw out the shape of his legs.

STEP 3.

In this step as you can see Kakashi starts to take form. You will detail his hair until you get a visual texture of fluffiness. Next start working on his face by sketching out the eye, eyebrow, and nose. If you need to, enlarge the steps so you can get a better visual of the shapes and lines. Now detail his headband with that metal emblem that is in the shape of a Twinkie. After that start sketching in the definition on his jacket and detail the left arm by drawing wrinkle and creasing lines. Next draw out his left hand and detail his glove as well. Before leaving this step you will add some wrinkle and crease lines on his pants and start the sketching of his feet and toes.

STEP 4.

What you will be doing here is adding more detailed definition to his face and body. Start by sketching in the emblem sign on that metal part of his headband. Next give him an ear and detail the face a bit more. Now you will focus on the right side by sketching in the details on the shoulder and right hand. Those lines on his coat are the guidelines for his pockets so get them drawn in as well as the wraps on the calf part of his legs. A few more detailed lines need to be drawn on his pants and feet as well.

STEP 5.

In this last step you will first start to clean up your sketch by erasing all the visible guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one. After that start detailing the face a bit more including his ear as well as the collar of his jacket as shown. Next finish off those two pockets that you drew the lines for and then detail the left leg and right foot.

STEP 6.

After you are totally done with your sketch you should end up with something like this. I know that seemed pretty hard, but if you took your time it shouldn't have been that bad. Well that is it just color him in and you are 100% done. That was fun and having said that I will see you again and I will end this tutorial on how to draw Kakashi Hatake from Naruto step by step with a peace out people!
